This is done with a Barrett-designed program called friends, which is used widely in Australian hospitals and clinics to treat anxious children and depressed adolescents.

Barrett agreed CBT directed at the child could work, and thought Kendall's "Coping Cat" program could be built on by encouraging greater parental and sibling involvement...
...researchers concluded that patients who take Celebrex, a prescription drug from Pfizer that was originally designed to treat inflammation in arthritis, are less likely to develop intestinal polyps - abnormal growths that can become cancerous. Now there are dozens of clinical trials of Celebrex, testing, among other things, whether the medication can also prevent breast cancer, delay memory loss or slow the progression of the devastating neurodegenerative disorder known as Lou Gehrig's disease...
...View of Diabetes Before Dr. Frederick Banting and his colleagues at the University of Toronto isolated insulin in the 1920s, doctors tried to treat diabetes with high doses of salicylates, a group of aspirin-like compounds.

Sure enough, the salicylate approach reduced sugar levels, but at a high price: side effects included a constant ringing in the ears, headaches and dizziness. Today's treatments for diabetes are much safer and generally work by replacing insulin, boosting its production or helping the body make more efficient use of the hormone. But researchers...
Yale gave the Harvard women’s basketball team a sour treat on Valentine’s Day, handing the Crimson a heartbreaking 62-59 loss. Harvard (10-10, 3-4 Ivy) will try to reverse its fortunes at the comforts of Lavietes Pavilion with two must-win contests—against Columbia (10-10, 4-4) on Friday and Cornell (8-13, 3-5) on Saturday—if it hopes to keep even the faintest hopes of an Ancient Eight title alive...
